Technology Lead building scalable backend systems

Distributed systems • APIs • Data pipelines • Reliability

I design high-throughput services, pragmatic architectures, and integrations that ship measurable business impact. I’ve spent 9+ years scaling platforms from startup to IPO environments.

About

As a Technology Lead at Tracxn, I build and optimize backend systems that handle large-scale ingestion and API traffic. I care about clear system boundaries, predictable performance, and operational simplicity.

I’m strongest in Core Java, Spring Boot, MongoDB, SQL, and Kafka—shipping pragmatic solutions that keep teams fast and systems stable.

Experience

Technology Lead — Tracxn

Jan 2019 → Present

Led a team scaling APIs, microservices, and database infrastructure for a market intelligence platform.

  • Improved reliability with better observability, incident response, and performance guardrails.
  • Designed integrations and pipelines to handle large-scale ingestion and updates.

Senior Software Engineer — ChalkStreet

Jun 2016 → Dec 2018

Full stack development across adaptive learning products, coding platforms, and analytics.

  • Owned end-to-end delivery: product iteration, engineering, and operational readiness.
  • Led a small team to ship features faster with better instrumentation and feedback loops.

Projects

Config-Driven Curation API + Profile Builder Framework

Configuration-first CRUD, enrichment, and CDC event pipelines

Built a unified config-driven framework for CRUD APIs, profile enrichment, and ETL workflows. It handled 10M+ writes/day across ~30TB data, enabled faster onboarding of new data sources, and improved consistency across microservices through MongoDB CDC and Kafka-based async processing.

Spring Boot Config-driven APIs MongoDB CDC Kafka Microservices AWS

Outcome: ~70% reduction in delivery timelines and better scalability by moving from pre-commit edit histories to post-commit audit-based eventing.
